FC: PETA Mocks Religion

Just a few weeks ago, a celebrity PETA supporter yet again made complete nonsense of himself.

While I’m pretty sure nothing to do with PETA does really shock people anymore, the reasoning behind this particular campaign was a far cry from activists’ usual act of “compassion” to animals.

How many of you would openly mock one’s religion all in the name of animal rights?

Not many. For most of us its morally and ethically wrong, but it seems like one particularly famous PETA supporter, actor James Cromwell, is confident enough to promote the controversial campaign to his 6,600 vegan community on social media.

In the ad, the actor portrays a priest hearing the confession of a meat marketer in the spot titled “Redemption.”

He later tells the man there is no forgiveness for him, just because he works for a livestock industry.

To make things worse the actor posts several additional pictures on popular social media accounts, so fans can follow him on his “attempted revolutionary” journey…

Now, I’m not here to argue whether or not this celebrity is being inappropriate.

It’s his freedom of choice and as long as he acknowledges that his actions might upset many and he is at ease with it, so be it.

Regardless, his decision to star in an offensive PETA Super Bowl campaign actually distracts from the matter at hand.

No matter his intentions, this actor’s antics bring more attention to himself rather than his cause. And it’s not just one person.
